1 Sorry if this is the wrong list. This project is really in the middle
2 ground.

4 Hardware:
5 I'm putting Gentoo on a SBC HighWire board (HW400C/M). It has
6 a 400MHz PowerPC processor, 128M RAM, and two mezzanine pci slots.
7 Backplane is CompactPCI. I've installed a 40GB hard drive in one of
8 the mezzanine slots.
9
10 Software:
11 Parent OS is a Timesys 2.4.18 kernel retrieved via tftp on boot. Root
12 filesystem is mounted via NFS (also Timesys supplied).
13
14 Procedure:
15 Stock Gentoo PowerPC stage1 dropped onto a properly partitioned and
16 mounted hd. ran bootstrap.sh without a hitch. 'emerge system' fails
17 with the following error:

58 Notes:
59 distcc is not being used. All compiling is being done on the target for

62 If the error is true, how come it didn't crop up during bootstrap?

64 Any help greatly appreciated.
